Vintage Bomber Baby 200 Series, 1/4oz fishing lure #16902

White paint covers the wooden body of this classic specimen, a material used by the manufacturer between 1949 and 1970. Weighing 1/4oz (7g) and measuring 2" (5cm), the Bomber Baby 200 Series, product code 16902, is a floating USA-made lure built to dive to 6.5ft (2 m). A large orange eye with a black pupil provides a sharp contrast against the pale finish, which exhibits some light surface checking upon close inspection. With a condition rating of 4/5, the lure is a well-maintained example of vintage craftsmanship. The hardware includes the iconic rear-positioned metal diving lip and line tie assembly, along with two sets of treble hooks that show some natural darkening over time. Targeting species like pike, perch, and asp was the intended purpose for this particular mid-century model.
